Guzman spent the rest of the morning with the victim to purportedly monitor her. He left her room at approximately 10 a.m. and told witnesses that they had engaged in sexual intercourse, reported Action News Now.

The victim was nude from the waist down when she woke up, but denied having sex with Guzman. Police were dispatched to the residence to investigate the incident. He admitted to having sex with the victim saying she consented.

Witnesses said the victim was too intoxicated to consent to having sex with Guzman. A DNA profile from the victim’s rape kit matched samples from Guzman.

Guzman pleaded admitted to having sex with the victim without her consent in January 2017.
